"I am Spartacus"

[fpb]

Right. This is a bit late, now that Wikipedia is in on the act, but I still want to do it:

Ryan Giggs, the Manchester United football star, committed adultery with Imogen Thomas and then tried to forbid anyone from hearing about it by the use of a "super-injunction" - one of the corrupt British judiciary's worst outrages against freedom of speech. Now sue me, you spoilt, overindulged, cowardly little bully.

Just to be clear. I would not defend anything that involved hiding a crime, that is when the public interest line has been crossed.

AND HOW THE FUCK WOULD YOU KNOW THAT A CRIME HAS BEEN COMMITTED IF THE JUDICIARY CONSPIRE WITH THE CRIMINALS TO COVER IT UP??????????

Your confidence in the honesty and decendy of rich and powerful people is rather naive, and does not take into account the ways such people usually tend to become rich and powerful. Such men are always to be dreaded, and half of any properly democratic legislation must tend to break the weapons they inevitably have.

A jury should decide when a crime is committed, not the editor of a newspaper

You really are unwilling to believe that judges can be crooks. A jury? And when is a jury even going to hear what, according to the most recent outburst from the Bench, even Members of Parliament should not be allowed to say? And suppose the crooked judge in question just decided not to accept the jury's verdict, as they have been known to do?
